In light of the trayvon martin shooting and cover up, one would think that racism would be something people would shy away from. I went to a local lounge/ club called "Bottoms up" out in buffalo for the weekend for a friends birthday. The bouncers at this spot seemed to be very eager to start a fight or an altercation probably due to boredom, because every one just seemed to be focused on just having a good time. The patrons were the ones doing the guiding traffic in the club that was more packed than a sardine can. While enjoying ourselves in a corner of the club, a dread headed bouncer approached us, accusing that one of our guest pushed a random another guest, so we confronted him and told him that he had the wrong person because we were all just standing and enjoying each others company. After the club we went out for hotdogs right in front, to wait for everyone leaves the club or "Let out". While waiting we saw about 8 bouncers 7 of them white and one black the same dreaded young man from the club, who were chasing 3 black men, mobbing them and kicking them. While they were already on the floor.
In lieu of all this a random driver got his drivers side mirror knocked out of his white 2011 Buick. When this happened the driver stopped "because if I kept moving I would end up running them over" said Chris the driver "Once he approached the club with his complaint they played dumb" said michale E of buffalo "we proceeded to explain to their management but ended up being the marks, for being witness to the whole thing". Comes in Police Officer Littere who just pulled up from lord knows where, and started yelling degrading insults like " move you [bleeping] retards, you cant even speak english morons." I wasn't moved by any of the prior racist remarks from the club management but hearing this from office Littere, I was pissed, someone with that power would stoop so low as to be racist to us. We are all college educated people and come from respective homes. After all this was said and done officer Littere decide to take force to come to our packed car and arrest one of our friends that was speaking back to the a club staff member that insisted he was a cop; last I checked club security wasnt in any way related to being in the force and by law stating that you are an officer is a felony for impersonating of a law official. When my friend was arrested we asked about 3 or 4 of the arresting officers for the address for the holding cell, but they all gave us different addresses, Wouldn't you know where this is as an officer? I think that is just as bad as not knowing your Miranda rights. By the way which was not read to him upon arrest. These buffalo cops don't seem to be we suited to be the ones to protect the community with their stereotypical and racist mindset.
